We had breakfast here in November 2025. We were greeted and seated promptly after entering, and complimentary chips and salsa awaited us at our table. We both had egg dishes. I had eggs with sausage and green chili and my partner had eggs with adovada. Both of us greatly enjoyed our plates. The chili as well as the salsa was hot enough without being overpowering.
We also got an order of salsa and an order of green chili to go and enough chips to feed us and our friends for days! Reasonable prices, great service. We hope to return the next time we are in Albuquerque.
Plenty of free parking in the lot.

Opened at 9 a.m., though I had hoped it would be earlier. Still, it was worth the wait, because the food was great! I got the chicken enchilada breakfast, and it was so delicious! I even had extra food because I was hungry, and I could count on them! The staff were polite and rushed about, making sure everyone was being seen to and treated like valued customers. I know when I return to this area, I can count on this restaurant!

Best family owned business anywhere. These days you get horrible frozen food from just about every restaurant anywhere so they can save money. But at Los Compadres I have never ever eaten any food there that tasted frozen, dry or just plain awful. This restaurant has the best fresh food, wonderful tasting, best chile, I am partial to the red. All the menu is GREAT, the customer service is exceptional, I have never had a bad experience. In fact they go out of there way to take care of everyone regulars and tourists. I really can say 100% this place is the best. I have gone to some very expensive places with awful food, ( such a shame). Los Compadres is extremely reasonable on price for as wonderful as the food is. Thank you to the family who owns it that they are keeping tradition to keep it the same with great food, awesome service and a great price. If I could go everyday I would. From sit down to carry out they take care of us all. THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU.

Oh my goodness and yes its full of goodness, great customer service, the food is outstanding. The atmosphere is nice n cozy, you are close to old town and the botanical gardens lots of shops near by for you out of towners. Very busy on weekends. We got there after 6pm on Saturday and we waited for about 15min. It wasn’t to bad.

If I could give 10 stars I would.
We went in with a little uncertainty as I don’t like any level of spice, but remembering a Mexican restaurant we went to in England where I found a non-spicy dinner I enjoyed, I had my fingers crossed.
It turns out I had nothing to worry about.
Our server was SO helpful – he explained so much of the menu to us and answered all of our questions. While we were waiting for our food he brought us some samples of pork dishes from the menu to try. My husband, always says doesn’t like pork, said it was absolutely delicious – and it really was SO tasty.
Our food arrived and honestly, it really was absolutely delicious. Every single thing we ordered tasted AMAZING.
When we got the bill we couldn’t believe how cheap it was. It was definitely worth double.
The only negative thing I can think of is that we are leaving the area tomorrow so won’t be able to eat there again.
Lovely staff
Delicious food
Not at all expensive
Perfect. Just perfect

Ate at Los Compadres Restaurant today. We had the cheese enchiladas ala carte and pazole. It was all amazing. We loved the red chile. I got a small bowl but it was actually very large. The toasted torta on the side was buttery, warm and fresh. The pork and hominy were plentiful in the soup. Everything was well priced and well seasoned. The place was packed but our food came out fast. Also, this is one the few places with fresh free salsa and chips which we devoured!

Me and my mom love coming here. They have the best Menudo. I like that they have the option of ordering a Pata (pig foot). That is the best addition to Menudo. It also comes with toasted buttered bolio (bread). Accompanied with lime, oregano, and onion. If you like Menudo. You would love this place. They offer small or large bowl. The large is pretty good size. I usually have some left to take home. Their shrimp cocktail is also really good. I would recommend this place. The only downside is I wouldn’t order the sopapillas. They run about a dollar something each and their size is laughable. Super small, a little bigger than a cracker (pic posted). I was disappointed and they didn’t taste good either. I even laughed when the waitress brought them out asking where the rest of the sopapilla was. She said they used to make fresh, but they no longer do, so they buy them from somewhere else. No bueno! They do have good salsa. They bring a complimentary basket of tortilla chips and salsa to the table. This restaurant is handicapped accessible as well.

Very good, authentic Mexican food, hearty portions and quick service! This place is nice and crowded – very popular. We ordered the burrito carne asada combo plate with fresh tortillas; the three, cheese enchiladas plate, and a a la carte order of a pork tamale with green chile sauce. Yummy and filling.
